even president obama agreed to spending cuts the last time he asked for an increase in the debt limit. now he says he wants an increase without any effort to reduce future spend lings. of course we all remember that when he was a senator he spoke out against raising the debt limb. he once called the need to increase the debt limit -- quote -- "a failure of leadership." that was then. this is now. the white house has floated gimmicks like issues ain issuin. now the president won't negotiate responsible spending at all. his policies the past four years have buried our children and grandchildren under a mountain of debt. america needs real budget reform but president obama insists on playing politics with our country's credit rating. hard 4hardworking american taxps need to balance their budgets. they understand what the president does not. the president bragged in his press conference last week that quotes it's been a busy and productive four years and i expect the same for the next four years." well, it looks like he means that we can count on for your years -- count on four more years

and the don't instant -- dominant issue was obama, was the increase in spending, was essentially the expansion of government. or to put it a more abstract and grand way, the relationship between citizen and state which obviously was tilting towards state. so -- and there when the question is put in that way, the country shows itself to be a center-right country. had republicans been able to duplicate those conditions, that framework in 2012, they would have won. but it isn't the same election. 2010 was almost a purely ideological election, perhaps the most ideological since 1980. then you get to 2010 when you have a personality involved, and you have a figure who represents one side. romney is a good man. i like him. i think he's an honorable man. and i think he actually would have made an excellent president but he was a bad candidate, particularly in an election that could have been won had it been an election about ideas and philosophy. i think it would have been easily won had it been about ideas and philosophy. but number one, he wasn't the man, the best man on our side to make

were, quote, nation building here at home something that not just candidate obama but also candidate romney agreed about. we are looking at unprecedented cutses in spending on national security, we're looking at the process% of drawing down -- prospect of drawing down from afghanistan, we are looking at a lot of changes not just here in the united states, but in the world. and one of the questions that i know that we have is whether we are ready for those changes. i suspect that most of us believe we're not. tom, maybe you could just start us out a talk a little bit about the sequestration that paul ryan told us this weekend is, quote, going to happen. i'll l give you the mic. >> well, it's a prediction that at this point seems like a certainty. but i would argue has been a near certainty once the sequestration provision was written into the budget control act. so i'll talk a bit about sequestration per se, but i really regard it as symptom and not the disease it. itself. the disease itself is the erosion to the point of vanishing almost of the bipartisan political consensus for mili

in parma, ohio, i met a retired autoworker who was spending his newfound r and r time coming into the local ofa office every single day. he knew president obama had fought for him and for so many other hard working americans by rescuing the automobile industry, and he wanted to be sure that he return ored the favor. in every corner of the country from sarasota to milwaukee, from seattle to cincinnati, i met so many truly amazing individuals who were proud to come up to me and say they were casting the first vote of their lives, and it was a vote for president obama. it became clear that for so many people and in so many different ways this election was personal. and it was personal for me too both as a mom raising three kids and as a breast cancer survivor. because we succeeded in reelecting our president, millions of americans across the country will no longer be denied coverage because of their pre-existing conditions. [cheers and applause] never again. and that is very personal for all the people whose lives will be saved because they will be able to have health insurance to fight
